Bill Summary
Relative to beneficiary designation on motor vehicle registration. Transportation.
AI Summary
This bill allows a sole owner of a motor vehicle who is a natural person to designate a beneficiary in writing on the vehicle's registration certificate. Upon the owner's death, the beneficiary can apply within 60 days to have the vehicle's title and registration transferred to their name, provided they meet certain requirements such as submitting the original registration, the owner's death certificate, and proof of identity. The beneficiary's right to the vehicle is subordinate to any recorded lienholders. The Registry of Motor Vehicles can adopt regulations to implement this new beneficiary designation process.
